IMIG report
The Fifth IMIG meeting was held from 5-8 October 1999 at Stoke Rochford Hall, Stoke Rochford, Grantham, UK. This meeting was combined with the International Congress on Peritoneal Repair and Adhesions (PAX), with the aim to bring together researchers in basic science and clinical practice who share common interests in areas of mesothelial and serosal biology, including tissue repair, adhesion formation, tumorigenesis, diagnosis and treatment. The meeting provided a successful forum for delegates of both groups to interact both scientifically and socially, forging new friendships and establishing future collaborations.
